Yes, Dacey renounced his American citizenship to avoid taxes and moved to
Ireland. I imagine he had an Irish-born grandparent so he could claim Irish
citizenship.
There was a Tax Court case (you can find it on Google) that hinged on
whether Dacey had renounced his US citizenship effectively, and when. The
Court said that it wasn't effective at the relevant time and he had to pay
US taxes on his royalties. (Ireland encourages authors by forgiving, or
reducing, taxes on their royalties.)
Judge White's email address is not (or not yet) public, but if it follows
the standard pattern it should be: jeffrey_white@
cand.uscourts.gov
Somebody really ought to tell him how out of touch with reality and the US
Constitution (that he swore to protect) he is. Or perhaps send him a copy of
the book "Spycatcher". Or the Pentagon Papers. Or direct him to the cases
"Ehrenfeld v. Salim A Bin Mahfouz" and "Bachchan v. India Abroad
Publications Ltd." which might teach him just how evil prior restraint can
be and why the Constitution prohibits it.
